I got the following error after creating a virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper-win when running pip.
ImportError: No module named urllib3
I fixed it by adding DLLs to PYTHONPATH. This is my PATHPATH.

Cleanup the default Python environment
I have been messing around with Python these last few weeks. Playing with Python means installing a lot of packages. I did this without using virtualenv, so my default Python environment had a lot of packages installed globally.
I now have a couple of projects that I want to work on and I what each project to have its own clean environment. That means using virtualenv. When running virtualenv without with the option --no-site-packages all the packages that are installed globally are included in the virtualenv.
I wanted to remove all the global packages to have a clean default environment. I did this by running the following command.
Windows
pip freeze > remove.txt && pip uninstall -y -r remove.txt && del remove.txtLinux
pip freeze > remove.txt && pip uninstall -y -r remove.txt && rm remove.txtAfter cleaning up the default envrionment by removing all the global packages don’t forget to install virtualenv en virtualenvwrapper-win by running the following command.
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
